I'm pretty sure, based on that post, that you have a fair bit more system administration experience than I do, which makes the whole thing even more boggling.

I feel like a professional auto mechanic is telling me, all serious-like, that he just learned the hard way why you shouldn't try to drive while running alongside your car, reaching through the window to work the steering wheel, with a brick on the accelerator.

It takes a real professional to admit when he's screwed up.

Or.

The more skilled one is, the more confident one is that he can do dumb things and get away with it.
